Thank you for pointing out the urgency in defending our democracy and in standing by the principles which propelled us to work so hard for change, both in 2006 and 2008.

If we are serious about wanting to protect constitutional rights and human rights for all, then we need to speak up, speak out, and run for office, even when the opponent is, at least in name, a member of the Democratic Party.

In 2006 when I challenged Jane Harman on the war in Iraq and her defense of illegal warrantless wiretapping, I mobilized almost 40% of the vote in just three months of campaigning. Today, as I organize a new 2010 challenge, one that builds on the previous campaign, I urge the people of the 36th district and beyond to protest, both in the street and at the polls, the trillion-dollar waste of taxpayer money spent on the drones and the killing in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan; on the no-strings-attached bail-outs for banks and mega-insurance corporations that brought us the subprime meltdown, on all that is wrong rather than on the human needs that cry out so desperately at home where the newly-found homeless sleep in their cars or on the streets, hoping the police won't see them, hoping to become invisible.

Let's speak out and stand up for universal single-payer health care. What a glorious day that will be — when we know that, regardless of our pre-condition, a single public fund will allow us to choose our own doctor without fear of skyrocketing medical bills. Let's shout from here to the capitol, "Stop your killing machine — and freeze the foreclosures, halt the evictions — No, give us a job, one that builds a bridge to a sustainable future, not a nuclear vision, not a fictitious clean coal fantasy, but a real alternative landscape of solar panels and wind farms."

Make America strong, much stronger, by investing our wealth in our future: our youth, their education; in our infrastructure; our roads, our water; in our belief that a better day awaits for a prouder America.

Jon, thank you and others for joining me in this challenge. Please visit me on Facebook at Marcy Winograd for Congress and contribute, volunteer, endorse at Winograd4Congress.com

I can't do it without you.

Onward to victory!…
